if you have to take the lane for some reason, always go BIG and just f-ing take it. Watch yer back and get in and out as quick as you can, but unabashedly OWN it while you’re in there. It’s counterintuitive that it’s safer. Force them to see you, stand-up, ignore any horn as you do what you gotta do to get in and out and have a safe ride..
I agree as a general principle except in this case, because if he'd taken the whole lane he'd have been hit square and would've gone under the vehicle (or maybe over it). The problem wasn't his position in the lane, it was being in a lane when drivers were blinded by the sun.
And yes, it's still the driver's fault for driving unsafely. If you can't see, you gotta slow down.
